  • pizza dough cut into 4 and rolled into ovals
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/3 pound fresh mozzarella
  • fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil plus 1 tbs olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Add the oils to a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, lower just a tad.
  • Add the dough ~2 at a time (depending on how large your skillet is). Fry until bubbles begin to form and the underside is golden (about 2 mins). Flip and fry until the other side is golden (another 1–2 mins). Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Top each fried dough with some sauce and a generous mozzarella. Add one basil leaf and enjoy hot!
